Save the date! Women's Legislative Days will be Sunday, January 28 - Tuesday, January 30, in Austin. It will be at the Woodward Hotel & Conference Center in south Austin. This two-day event will educate women about the issues that will be addressed in the upcoming legislative session and train women to make effective lobby visits to their state senators and representatives. Mad about school finance, insufficient health care funding, or burdensome limits on access to abortion? This is your chance to make a difference!
